INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE 1

INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE 2

The key in detecting David’s alleged industrial espionage was to recognize the warning signs. David was mad as well as dissatisfied with the or- ganization due to the fact that he had been passed over for promotion three times. He was always complaining and always expressed negative opinion concerning the organization. David behavior and attitude toward the organization was a clear sign of a disgruntled employee who could have done anything to hurt the organization. The first thing to do so as to prevent corporate espionage is to identify possible target, the organiza- tion need to know what trade secrete as well as other sensitive information the organization possesses and its value (Benny, 2013). Identifying organization most valuable information gives you an idea on who may want to have it. Organization come up with a security policy that needs to be effectively enforced. The policy must include rules meant to prevent industrial espionage. In many organizations, access to sensitive informa- tion as well as infrastructure is allowed by default and only explicitly restricted when it is perceived to be risky. While it may sometime be more suit- able, this policy is not secure at all. Organization should follow the rule of least privilege and restrict access to all information unless otherwise. By restricting the number of people with access to organization trade secrets and sensitive information you severely restrict the number of entry point. In many occasions, industrial espionage is carried out during the last days of work. Employees still possess their credentials after termi- nation allowing them to access organization’s delicate information when they already stop working in the organization. Proper termination proce- dure must be put in place and followed so as to protect organization from possible acts of industrial espionage.
